Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to everyone! Davis County's volleyball team played in the regional final game last night so we went to that and missed our trick-or-treat night. Instead we hit the Ottumwa mall trick-or-treat night which was considerably better given it was indoors, warm and fast!

The kids enjoyed their costumes, thanks to Grandma Janet and Tom. They send MULTIPLE outfits each year and Zoie especially loves that opening that box. This year it was Cousin It and a chicken for Kai and a ballerina, witch and genie for Zo. They play with them year round though at least they get a lot of good out of them. We hope everyone had a wonderful halloween!

Davis County Homecoming

Last week was Homecoming in Davis County. The weather didn't really cooperate but we did manage to make the parade and crowning of the king and queen. There is a ton of school spirit in this town, which makes for fun events. But, I have to say, it is still really strange that we are not "bulldogs" anymore.

Finally....udpates!

I have been super slow at updating the blog. Here are a few pics of Kai's bday week. He didn't like the chocolate cake. However, just like his momma, he loved the cake batter!

No laughing at my cake! It didn't rise quite as much as it should have. I attribute that to a little too much batter missing.

Zoie loves her school. She made this "fall hat" and wore it all day. She decided this morning that on Mondays she doesn't want me to drop her off in front of school anymore. She would rather ride the bus like all the rest of the big kids. Seriously?? She isn't even 5 yet! Why didn't someone warn me that mommy isn't cool enough to even drop off a preschooler???
